11. Oh for a thousand tongues to sing
1. Oh for a thousand tongues to sing
   my great Redeemer's praise,
   the glories of my God and King,
   the triumphs of his grace!

2. My gracious Master and my God,
   assist me to proclaim,
   to spread thro' all the earth abroad
   the honors of Your name.

3. Jesus! the name that charms our fears,
   that bids our sorrows cease,
  'tis music in the sinner's ears,
  'tis life and health and peace.

4. He breaks the power of cancelled sin,
   He sets the prisoner free;
   His blood can make the foulest clean;
   His blood availed for me.

5. To God all glory, praise, and love
   be now and ever given
   by saints below and saints above,
   the Church in earth and heaven.

12. Oh worship the King
1. Oh worship the King all-glorious above,
     O gratefully sing his power and his love:
     our shield and defender, the Ancient of Days,
     pavilioned in splendor and girded with praise.

  2. Oh tell of his might and sing of his grace,
     whose robe is the light, whose canopy space.
     His chariots of wrath the deep thunderclouds form,
     and dark is his path on the wings of the storm.

  3. Your bountiful care, what tongue can recite?
     It breathes in the air, it shines in the light;
     it streams from the hills, it descends to the plain,
     and sweetly distills in the dew and the rain.

  4. Frail children of dust, and feeble as frail,
     in you do we trust, nor find you to fail.
     Your mercies, how tender, how firm to the end,
     our Maker, Defender, Redeemer, and Friend!

  5. O measureless Might, unchangeable Love,
     whom angels delight to worship above!
     Your ransomed creation, with glory ablaze,
     in true adoration shall sing to Your praise!

14. Sweet is the work
1. Sweet is the work, my God, my King,
      To praise your name, give thanks, and sing,
      To show your love by morning light,
      And talk of all your truth at night.

   2. My heart shall triumph in the Lord,
      And bless his works, and bless his Word;
      Your works of grace, they brightly shine!
      How deep your counsels! how divine!

   3. Lord, 'tis a pleasant thing to stand
      In gardens planted by your hand;
      Let me within your courts be seen,
      Like a young cedar, fresh and green.

   4. There grow your saints in faith and love,
      Blest with your influence from above;
      Not Lebanon with all its trees
      Yields such a lovely sight as these.

   5. The plants of grace shall ever live
      (Nature decays, but grace must thrive).
      Time, which does all things else impair,
      Still makes them flourish, strong and fair.

   6. None who attend his gates shall find
      A God unfaithful or unkind.
      Laden with fruits of age, they show
      The Lord is holy, just, and true.

15. The God of Abraham praise
1. The God of Abraham praise,
   who reigns enthroned above;
   Ancient of Everlasting Days,

   Jehovah, great I AM!
   by earth and heaven confessed;
   I bow and bless the sacred name
   forever blest.

2. The great I AM has sworn;
   I on this oath depend.
   I shall, on eagle wings upborne,
   to heaven ascend.
   I shall behold God's face;
   I shall God's power adore,
   and sing the wonders of God's grace
   forevermore.

3. The heavenly land I see,
   with peace and plenty blest;
   a land of sacred liberty,
   and endless rest.
   There milk and honey flow,
   and oil and wine abound,
   and trees of life forever grow
   with mercy crowned.

4. The God who reigns on high
   the great archangels sing,
   and "Holy, holy, holy!" cry
   "Almighty King!
   Who was, and is, the same,
   and evermore shall be:
   Jehovah, Lord, the great I AM,
   we worship thee!"

16. To God be the glory
1. To God be the glory, great things He hath done,

   who yielded His life an atonement for sin,
   and opened the life-gate that all may go in.

   Refrain:
      Praise the Lord, praise the Lord,
      let the earth hear His voice!
      Praise the Lord, praise the Lord,
      let the people rejoice!
      O come to the Father through Jesus the Son,
      and give Him the glory, great things He hath done.

2. O perfect redemption, the purchase of blood,
   to ev'ry believer the promise of God;
   the vilest offender who truly believes,
   that moment from Jesus a pardon receives. [Refrain]

3. Great things He hath taught us, great things He hath done,
   and great our rejoicing through Jesus the Son;
   but purer, and higher, and greater will be
   our wonder, our transport, when Jesus we see.

   Soon His beauty we’ll behold
   Soon the pearl gates will open
   We shall tread the streets of gold
